Who this role suits

People with roughly one to three years of experience who can own small pieces of work with light guidance and want to widen their scope.

How to prepare your application

  • Check your résumé against the listed skills (Product) and give each one a concrete example: what you built or achieved, not just that you used it.
  • Prepare two or three stories about work you owned end to end, including one thing that went wrong and what you changed.
  • Read what Linear publishes about its product or team, so you can say clearly why this role and this company.
  • For remote roles, show that you communicate clearly in writing and can work without close supervision.

Apply only on Linear's own site. A genuine employer never asks candidates for money, deposits or bank details to apply, interview or “secure” a job. If something looks wrong, use Report a problem with this listing and we will review it. Read how we check listings.

About the role

At Linear, we're building the product development system for teams and agents. AI is fundamentally changing how software gets built, and we’re shaping the tools this new era requires.

Founded in 2019, Linear has become the platform of choice for more than 50,000 companies (including OpenAI, Coinbase, and Ramp) to plan, build, and ship their products. Today, our team is distributed across North America, Europe, and Australia, and we’re continuing to grow internationally. What unites us is relentless focus, fast execution, and a deep care for software craftsmanship.

As a small team, we're all generalists that work across the full stack (built in TypeScript end-to-end). We’re looking for engineers that thrive in an environment of autonomy and individual responsibility to help us build the future of product development.

Location & work mode

Linear is a remote-first company, with optional co-working offices in San Francisco, New York, and London. This role is open to candidates based in North America. You can work from anywhere within this region. We value deep focus and async collaboration, with intentional moments to connect in person through team off-sites, optional co-working, and occasional travel.

What you'll do

  • Work closely with founders, product, and design to implement new concepts and ideas

  • Build AI-powered functionality into the core of Linear

  • Update our collaborative content editor used across all internal surfaces

  • Build new user-facing features with beautiful and scalable UI components

  • Obsessively improve application performance

  • Refine our software development processes to keep the team operating at high velocity

What we're looking for

  • 2-5 years of experience building customer-facing products at a software company with a high engineering bar

  • Strong React and TypeScript fundamentals, with experience across the full stack (Browser technologies, Node, GraphQL, PostgreSQL)

  • Track record of driving complex, end-to-end features (not just incremental improvements and refactors) with visible impact on the product

  • Product sensibility: you care about UX, speed, and polish, and you push back when something doesn't feel right

  • Comfortable working without heavy PM overhead; you can help to shape the problem, not just implement a solution

  • High ownership mentality: self-directed, full-lifecycle builder who takes a feature from idea to shipped

  • Thrives in a remote, async-first environment with a lean, high-output team

  • Experience at a startup or a company with a genuinely high engineering bar

Our tech

  • React, MobX, StyleX on the frontend

  • Extensive, highly-trafficked GraphQL API and SDK

  • Node, PostgreSQL, Temporal, and Redis on the backend

  • Hosted on Google Cloud with k8s

  • GitHub, Slack, Notion

  • Competitive salary and equity

  • Employee-friendly equity terms including early exercise in the US and extended exercise windows

  • Daily meal and coffee stipend on every workday

  • Paid co-working space or desk

  • 4 months paid parental leave

Compensation

For US-based candidates, the expected cash compensation range for this role is $174,000—$245,000. For sales roles, this range represents on-target earnings (OTE), including base salary and variable compensation; for all other roles, it represents base salary.
